The Higgs Fake: How Particle Physicists Fooled the Nobel Committee (Paperback)

Customer Review

Much new friends in the economically well-established community of particle physicists will not win started with this book. After the wake-up of his previous works apparently faded effect there, Hans Dieter Hüsch might have so it says: He had much leaning out the window and called out loud enough - enough for polemical criticism, since this year's award of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2013 from him going well founded counted as a scientific scandal.
Unsuccessful Wake-up calls are generally repeated and one encounters when reading in some familiar from his other works, but constant dripping wears away the stone (the argument resistance), eventually Carthage was razed yet.
U. exposes again the modern particle physics, led by CERN as a tautological system of thought without real reference to reality and this year's award of the Nobel Prize for physics as a reward for the creative self-verification.
U. insists that the science criteria of Occam and Popper were observed as before: The demands for simplicity, reproducibility and falsifiability. As before, these criteria are in this contemporary research not erfüllt.Seine demand for real applicability of the research results will certainly dispute with basic research, without implying criticism would total invalidated.
Always pleased and again one encounters the selected smart quotes great thinker and his own, successful witticisms.
U. reported rejoinders, the historical figures and their criteria, to which it refers, may be out of date - a direct confirmation of his criticism and clear indication of the inability of the mainstream of physics for self-reflection.
Somewhat neglected the statistical justification of the measurement results is described as Higgs boson. The ominous 5-Sigma range is for laymen and still not understood me. Finally, such a large confidence interval makes no further details, such as parrot journalists, suspicious in! The question of how a statistic very rare events should be significant is refuted remarks stringent neither from the public, euphoric euphemisms CERN comprehensible, even from Us. (The filtering of the LHC data from CERN applied reminiscent of the description of the physical observation as a recursive process by JWDunne in his The Serial Universe from 1927 in its follow-on An Experiment on Time, then the physical ability of divination is proved !!! )
A standard reply to his criticism as U. reported is, that he knew the particle too little to make a competent judgment. To to see through such a complicated system than was the requirement for all time to waste, he argues, there would remain no room for creativity even criticism.
At the end of the book the reader will find questions to the particle physicists formulated, showing that even you ask without answers expose the madness of modern particle physics. On the question of constructive criticism makes U. solutions that can remain only approaches given the incoherence of the situation.
This time, writes U. in English, probably to expand the potential audience. He remains consistently verbally, thus avoiding kleinkrämerische mathematical discussions that can only dilute the dispute. He draws attention more so on the group dynamics, social and political aspects of the conflict: Its not your detector, guys, its the taxpayers.
